Richard <pub...@careaga.net> added the comment: Sorry to be obscure, Ronald. I mistook my configuration problem, described below for the original problem. But I can reproduce the problem with opening an existing file under IDLE, which is a segmentation fault. When opening a new window, I get a blank screen but no >>> prompt.
I should have done this before on my two boxes. It shows pretty clearly that the abort trap problem in 2.6.x is my configuration problem. On the development box, I have mutliple Pythons, with varying degrees of IDLE success; on the production box I have only the factory installed 2.6.1 with no IDLE problem other than the one originally reported. Both boxes are under 10.6.4.
